Another poster had suggested laying paper over thing to trace then use a scanner to load it into your computer then use Inkscape trace to convert to a DXF or SVG file. If you do that you can scale it to what ever size you want.

I'm trying to understand what you're after. Just the top and bottom arches with text or the whole thing?

I will take that advice, knowing that you use tm cad ad have those results. most things trace pretty good but when I try to trace patches and such the lines are all over the place.

That came out wrong. I meant that I just practice to get to where I can use the program to do almost anything I need to.
I wasn't advising you to do anything, that is up to you.
